A Feast for Crows Update.

I just buy the books as they come out (and not reading them) and wait until he´s finished - I´m doing that with all series nowadays. Jordan learnt me that lesson.

Same here with a few exceptions. (I already read anythign by Tad Williams or Janny Wurts as it comes out: they're also some fo teh few authors I'll buy in hardback.)

Seriously, thought, even a relatively straightforawrd, innocous series like "War of the Spider Queen" has taken nearly three years to complete!!

I can understand everyones frustration with the time lag between books, but I'd rather have him get it right than get it out the door quickly. Of course, that's easy for me to say, since I just started in on the series two months ago, and am only know beginning storm of swords.

I'm not sure if I agree completely with the Jordan comparison. I think a better comparison would be George Lucas. I think the first three movies are best, since he had time and budget limitations. The prequels are terrible, in my mind, since they do too much and he forgot what made his movies so great in the first place, doing a lot with a little (simple story about young man who goes on adventure).

I'll give George the benefit of the doubt. However, I don't want the delay of book four to give him the excuse for his writing to suffer. I expect Feast to be as good as Book I - III. I just hope George R.R. Martin isn't doing too much.

He--almost by defnition--isn't

He seems to be doing very, very little.

( I hate when I don´t remember what happened in the previous book )

Just hope you don't end up collecting any series that you later realise you do not like at all. Do you at least give them a test run before you start collecting?
